The 23-year-old Little Pea is only 175cm tall and weighs only 71kg. Compared with the 85kg Luke Shaw, Little Pea really looks a little thin and cute in the competitive Premier League.

The physical condition of Little Pea, coupled with the star-studded forward line of Manchester United, is the reason why he often sits on the bench at a young age.

In this match, Manchester United's real striker Dimitar Berbatov, and the super golden boy Michael Owen, who was once a powerful team and won the Premier League Golden Boot Award when he was less than 18 years old, were sitting on the bench watching the game.

Head coach Ferguson also believed that there would not be too much suspense in this game, and Manchester United had to save their energy for the more important Premier League and Champions League, so the long-time substitute, Little Pea, was able to start in this game, partnering with Rooney.

Why is it called little pea?

This starts with the life story of Little Pea.

Javier Fernandez comes from a football family. His grandfather is Tomas Balcazar, the legendary center forward of the Mexican national team, and his father Javier Sr. is also a famous Mexican international football star.

His father, Javier Fernandez Gutierrez Sr., was nicknamed "Pea" because of his green eyes.

Then, as the son of Javier Sr., Javier Fernández Balcazar Jr., got the nickname of a little pea.

This nickname fits Javier's temperament very well. Javier himself has a delicate appearance, and every time he scores a goal, he always likes to pout and point his fingers. He really looks like a pea shooter.

Like his grandfather and father, Little Pea, who came from a noble family with absolutely good financial conditions, also played soccer on the streets when he was young. He did not enter a professional football school from the beginning like the children of other football stars.

This approach also made Little Pea very flexible since childhood, and he loved the sport of football from the bottom of his heart.

So, not long after hanging around on the streets, Old Pea sent Little Pea to the Guadalajara youth team, which was ranked first in the Mexican Professional League, for professional training.

El Pea is definitely a third-generation star who grew up under the spotlight, and he performed very well when he was young. Almost every Mexican believes that El Pea will become the strongest center in the world and will lead the Mexican team to make history.

When Little Pea was 15 years old, he did not go directly to Europe to play football like other well-known second-generation and third-generation football players. Instead, he chose to sign his first professional contract with Mexico's top club Guadalajara, which also gave him ample playing opportunities and absolute ball possession.

At the age of 17, Chicharito became a first-team player for Guadalajara.

His national team debut was just before he went to Europe, in a friendly match against Colombia on September 30, 2009. He assisted Mexico's only goal. His national team debut was perfect.

So, Little Pea got his wish and was included in Mexico's 23-man World Cup squad in South Africa. At that time, no one could have imagined that the 22-year-old would appear in the Mexican lineup as a starting striker, and no one could have imagined that he and his grandfather would also score against France for Mexico.

When his domestic reputation reached its peak, the 21-year-old joined the star-studded Manchester United club.

The playing style of the Little Pea is very flexible. He does not have the speed of 21-year-old Owen, nor the explosiveness of 21-year-old Rooney. His football style is more like a fox in the penalty area. He can always appear in the required position when needed.

When playing for Manchester United, Little Pea's appearances were very limited, far less than his appearance rate in the Mexican League, but Little Pea always managed to seize the opportunities and score as many goals and assists as possible.

Although Little Pea is not tall, his most iconic way of scoring goals during his time at Manchester United was to appear in the dead corner of the small penalty area and then head the ball into the goal like the Pea Shooter spitting beans.

In general, Little Pea's football style is similar to Romario. In the penalty area, he always finds the passing line earlier than others, and then turns the pass into a goal. A striker like him only has a few shots in the whole game, but as long as he shoots, he will score.

This is a very scary, very terrifying striker.

But because Little Pea is not competitive enough and is prone to injury, he has very little playing time in Manchester United. Although Little Pea has won many championships in Manchester United, they were basically won while sitting on the bench.

Manchester United's starting left winger is Manchester United's legendary star, a representative of the Class of 92, a role model for the Red Devils, a lifelong loyal player, a man who will never betray his sister-in-law: No. 11, Ryan Giggs.

When it comes to Class of 92, most fans are most impressed by David Beckham.

But in fact, the one from Class 92 who was really favored by Sir Alex Ferguson was Giggs.

Of course, the ginger-headed Scholes is actually stronger than Giggs in overall strength, but at the beginning, Scholes was not favored by Ferguson because of his physical defects, and Ferguson was a believer in both wings flying together. When Beckham was not fast enough, could not dribble past opponents, and had poor breakthroughs, and could only show off and take set pieces, all of Manchester United's threatening attacks came from the magic wing Giggs.

Giggs around 1999 was definitely at his peak and was definitely the best winger in the world.

The later popular winger style of play was largely due to Manchester United's use of Giggs's sprint breakthroughs.

Giggs had been playing for Manchester United since he was spotted by Ferguson at the age of 14 and selected into the Class of 92 until his retirement.

It can be said that Giggs' career is Ferguson's entire era.

Ferguson does prefer Giggs, and even Ferguson himself admits that he loves Giggs more than Scholes.

Giggs is also one of the few role models in the Premier League clubs who can be loyal to one team throughout his life. Therefore, he is deeply admired by the Red Devils fans. Manchester United Club has established Giggs as a moral role model.

In 2007, the Queen specially awarded Giggs a loyalty medal.

Until 2011, that is, now, Giggs was exposed to have an affair with Miss Wales Imogen.

But Giggs convinced his wife through his own efforts and made her forgive his cheating.

At the time, Giggs told reporters that he had made the same mistake every man makes...

I thought my wife had forgiven me and the matter was over, but what happened next was the most explosive.

Giggs's sister-in-law, Natasha, his brother's wife, announced that she would not forgive Giggs.

Natasha told reporters that she had been Giggs' secret lover before she met his younger brother. In order to maintain a long-term relationship with Giggs, she endured the humiliation and married his younger brother. However, she did not expect that Giggs was not satisfied with sleeping with her sister-in-law every day and even cheated on her outside - Natasha could not forgive her!

After listening to this, the reporters' CPUs were all burned out...

This is the famous sister-in-law gate.

After the incident was exposed, Chelsea's loyal soul Terry secretly gave Giggs a thumbs up. (End of this chapter)
